AN INTERESTING SCRAP.

Keene Create a Scene.

Col. James FaiPman and Lawyer
Keene Create a Scene.
Trouble arose between Col. Fairman
and Lawyer J. F. Keene yesterday after
noon over a dog fight which was occur
ring around wagon standing opposite
the poStOffice on Fourth street. The
fight was between a bull terrier
and shepherd. The former was evil
IDENTITY getting the worst of the fight,
notwithstanding he had all the appear
ance of regular sporting animal. The
man in the wagon had the shepherd by
the tail, while the caudal appendage of
the bull pup was being tugged at by a
small boy. This was the interesting
picture presented when Col. Fairman
crossed the street, got iutO the wagon
ans begged those around to make the
dogs cease. The colonel is a member
in the East of the Society for the Sup
preston of Cruelty to Animals, and felt
he was doing his duty i'll stopping the
fight. While engaged in this iaudable
effort j. f. Keene stepped up and called
the colonel an ''old dude and a fool"
This the colonel Indignantly denied.
determinations followed. Col. Fairman
made a move to step off the wagon
when Keene deliberately struck him in
the face The crowd. seeing the disparity
of age between the cOmbatants, rushed
on keene. the younger man, and held
him until the police arrived. When
they dispersed it was seen for the first
time that Fairman was injured. His
face was bleeding prOfusely, and his
front teeth were almost knocked out. In
less than half an hour after the trouble
occurred, the case was being tried in
the municipal court before Judge
MahOney. Col. Fairman made a charge
of assault and battery, and Keene
pleaded guilty. and was fined S15.

WHICH is CHEAPEST?
To Have City Work Done by the
DaY or by Contract,

City Engineer Rinker, Mayor Ames
and Aid. f. NJ. Johnson do not all agree
as TO whether having work done by the
day or under the contract system is the
cheapest The city engineer declares
he can not tell which is the cheaper.
while Mayor Ames says day labor is.
and Aid. Johnson says it is
not. Speaking of the mat
Ter yesterday Mayor Ames said:
am decidedly in favor of day labor. The
city can do its own work by the direct
supervision of the council for at least
One-third less money than it can through
a contractor. A contractor never sub
mits bid for any large piece of work
without making an allowance OF $1,000
or 5000 for his own profits. BY en-
pIOying its own labor and appointing
competent OverSeerS the city can save
this amount. The present system of
day labor has given universal SatiSfac-
ton where it has been compared with
the old contract system"
Mr.. Johnson said that ''what is true
of individuals certainly ought to be true
of a corporation like the city. l think
if the city council were disposed to
attend to the city's business with the
same diligence that they would use in
connection with their own affairs that
they would have the city's work done by
contract. The contract system is more
satisfactory TO taxpayers and business
men, but the day labor system would
probably suit those who pay no taxes
better. The contract system is undoubt-
eddy the cheaper of the two"

lily.
South Minneapolis came near fur
nishing a first-clasS tragedy yesterday
morning, in which Charles BabuS, well
known in the south part Of the city, was
the central figure. He had been on a
spree for several days and had made
life unpleasant for his wife and rela-
1iVeS, who were at l0l TWenty-SecOnd
avenue south. Early yesterday morn
ing he went home in a condition border
ing on delirium tremens, and. finding
things there not to his taste, proceeded
to make Rome howl. He held a stormy
interview with his wife, and rushed into
another room where he secured a big
dOuble-barreied shotgun and filled his
pockets with cartridges. Slipping a
couple into the gun he marched forth
again and entered the room where his
wife, her parents and brother were con-
gregated. He at once opened fire on
them. but, thanks to the whisky he had
consumed. his aim was untrue, and i'll
stead of blowing holes through his
friends. he fired two shots into the cell
ing and two into the floor. He raised
his gun for a fifth shot, after slipping in
two more cartridges, and, placing the
muZZle at his mOther-in-law' head, was
about to pull the trigger when she made
a rush at him, and. catching hold of the
weapon, turned it toward the floor. The
gun was discharged in this position and
a big hole was torn in the floor. The
police arrived at this juncture and after
a hard struggle BabuS was captured 10y
Patrolman Schatfer, of the Third Pre-
cinct station. BabuS was taken to the
Central station in the patrol wagon and
now occupies cell there. He will be
arraigned this morning on charge of
assault in the first degree, warrant
having been sworn out against him.
